Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Second Test Match - Cricket. DESCRIPTION: Perhaps the brightest highlight of England’s first innings was the sparkling 62 hit by Godfrey Evans. He fairly went for the South African bowling and during his stay at the crease, he doubled the rate of scoring. England left South Africa 285 to win. Later when Laker dealt with Adcock, they were all out for 72. Two up - congratulations Peter May. SHOTLIST: Play. Godfrey Evans. Play. Evans caught out by McGlew. Crowd. Play. Wardell. Colin Cowdrey.
